Europe has grown used to having the U.S. copy its fashions. But Manhattan's Henry Rosenfeld, the shopgirl's Jacques Fath, last week turned the tables. He signed a deal with Count Aldo Borletti, Italian clothing manufacturer and owner of a 50-store department-store chain, to sell him 500 models a year to copy. Borletti, who figured he could sell $2,000,000 a year of Rosenfeld styles the first year, agreed to pay Rosenfeld some $50,000 for copying rights, plus royalties up to 10% on all dresses sold...

It was a big beat, with photographs and sketches of dresses by such big names as Dior, Fath and Paquin.

Harper's Bazaar had not carried the pictures; it had understood that the new styles were not to be released until Sept. 15. Editor Snow...
...Jennifer Jones starred last season in Serena Blandish, Angel Selznick insisted on surrounding his favorite actress (later to become his wife) with a cast that included Cinemactor Louis Jourdan and such polished stage veterans as Constance Collier, Mildred Natwick and Reginald Owen. He also insisted on gowns by Jacques Fath and five sets. The show drew capacity crowds throughout its run-and lost several thousand dollars...
